Well there you go then, the phrase "What's good for the goose is good for the gander" springs to mind, if the French can have an opt-out (that wonderful contribution to GA safety the Brevet de Base

) then by that standard we should be perfectly entitled to declare our IMCr valid, (as it is, UK only, no increase or decrease in privilige/training).
But why do I get this vague, annoying feeling that's not going to be so????
